I STILL want to know what Putin has on Donald Trump….
Trump’s praise of the Russian Leaders action to overrun another country seem to follow his efforts to overthrown the election in this country….
I could seem that Donald Trump allegiance is to a Communist autocrat not to the country he swore on a bible to protect….
Why is this man even IN this country?
Who in their right mind could vote for this man to be President again?
Oh, and Fox News talking head Tucker Carlson is right along with Trump on Russian TV …..
How used and stupid can these guys be?
In the final days before Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, Russian state media used footage of Donald Trump, former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and Fox News personality Tucker Carlson to bolster Putin’s image.
A Grid review of a half-dozen Russian state media outlets found at least a dozen examples of government channels resharing complimentary remarks by the three men. None responded to Grid’s requests for comment.
“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’” Trump told an American radio program on Tuesday. “‘Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent.’ Oh, that’s wonderful.” Noting there were “more army tanks than I’ve ever seen,” Trump said, “they’re gonna keep peace all right.”…

“If the former president and the former secretary of state want to praise dictators who carve up parts of neighboring countries and send in troops to occupy them, we should be grateful — Trump and Pompeo are telling us who they really are,” said Stephen Sestanovich, a professor of international diplomacy at Columbia University who worked on Russia policy in the Reagan and Clinton administrations.
“They say they respect Putin, but you can be sure Putin does not respect them in return,” he added. “He probably feels amused contempt. It’s a little pathetic that they don’t see this.”…
At the dawn of Russia’s new invasion of Ukraine this week, Donald Trump appeared to be on a Russian roadshow, telling whoever would listen about the wonder of President Vladimir Putin’s ability to take over the country next door on a whim.
But as Russia continues to attack Ukraine, several advisers and associates have practically begged the former president to end his effusive-sounding praise of Putin. Trump’s warm words for the Russian leader, who the ex-president regularly brags about knowing “very well,” has startled even some of Trump’s onetime lieutenants who were already conditioned to mask their disgust with the 45th U.S. president’s actions….
…
It got to the point that by Thursday afternoon, several longtime associates who had spoken to Trump since Tuesday told him that he might want to avoid lavishing too much praise on Putin, and perhaps refrain from complimenting the Russian president’s intellect so much, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter. At least one adviser recently mentioned to Trump that it would be more advantageous to simply stick to calling Biden feckless and bumbling.
Neither of them had high hopes that the ex-president would take the advice….
